The YL-Q1BF is a spherical smart lock which brings a fresh smart locking experience with its innovative features such as mobile app unlocking, battery and status indicator lights, and privacy mode design. Users can unlock the door through various methods like fingerprint recognition, Bluetooth, and emergency keys, effectively avoiding issues like key loss or forgetting keys and providing a safer and more convenient unlocking experience. Additionally, the front lock body features a lock core, and the bottom cover can be rotated 120 degrees to allow mechanical key unlocking, offering users multiple unlocking options and enhancing the practicality and convenience of the lock. Features like anti-slip patterns, battery indicators, hidden mechanical unlocking, and secondary lock function button highlight the product's excellence and innovation.

The privacy mode feature of YL-Q1BF provides solid security for homes. By pressing the privacy mode button, users can easily activate the privacy mode function, allowing only administrators to unlock from the outside, while regular user permissions like fingerprint, app and so on cannot unlock it. This design effectively prevents illegal intrusion and accidental unlocking, ensuring the safety of your home. Furthermore, the lock achieves innovation by canceling the privacy mode function when opening the door from the inside, enhancing usability and making the practice more intelligent and user-friendly.

YL-Q1BF innovatively incorporates four battery indicator lights, allowing users to monitor its battery status at any time. When the battery is below 25%, only one of the four indicator lights will illuminate after flashing for 2 seconds, reminding users to replace the batteries in time so as to avoid lockout due to power depletion. Additionally, the lock is equipped with indicator lights respectively for passage mode and privacy mode. The passage mode indicator light informs users whether the lock is currently in passage mode for easy daily use. For more security, users can use privacy mode by making sure the correspondent indicator light shines. These indicator lights not only improve the user experience but also make the lock's status more intuitive and easy to control.

YL-Q1BF supports mobile app unlocking, providing users with a more convenient unlocking experience.
